Prince Porky

"This snobby little brat is a chip off the old block, but don't underestimate his cunning ways!"

— Description, Angry Birds Epic website^[2]

Prince Porky^[2] is a character that appears in the Angry Birds series. He is a member of the Piggy kingdom and the son of King Pig.^{[note 1]} He is a major antagonist throughout most of Angry Birds Epic, working alongside Wizpig to steal the Angry Birds' eggs until the latter betrayed King Pig near the end of the game.

Appearance

Like most pigs, Porky has a round, limbless body with green skin, as well as small, black eyes and a short tail. He has three freckles arranged like a triangle on each of his cheeks, similarly to Ross from Bad Piggies. For attire, he wears a purple prince's hat with a large yellow feather that arcs backwards, as well as an orange wig.

Personality

Porky is highly loyal to King Pig and is willing to carry out his orders without question. Similarly to his father, Porky is snobbish and bratty, but is nevertheless said to be very cunning.^[2]

Game appearances

Angry Birds Epic

Prince Porky Throne — Prince Porky on the throne, from *Angry Birds Epic*.

In Angry Birds Epic, Prince Porky is a pig boss, who has the ability to ignore high damage and make all pigs increase damage by 25% but also suffer 25% more damage. Since Prince Porky is immune to high damage and Prince Porky himself can make himself suffer 25% more damage, there is a high chance that Prince Porky will dodge an attack with his Tit for Tat ability. During the second wave of Wizpig's Castle he will join the Angry Birds for the rest of the battle. In the aftermath of the game, Prince Porky can be hired as a "friend".

First Appearance

Strategy for Defeating This Pig

Use only low damage birds, as low damage birds can defeat this pig but very slow. Don't use high damage birds. Don't even try to kill him by using the rage chili on Red, Bomb, or The Blues (Though there is a chance that you will hit other pigs).It is recommended to use rage chilli on Chuck being that he will be attacked 5 times.

His buff ability, Tit for Tat, can be mostly exploited to burst down the more threatening Pigs, most notably Wizpig, as it amplifies the damage they take. This is less reliable for Prince Porky himself, as the extra damage from the durability debuff often has a higher chance of being dodged by his passive. Another exploit to counter Tit for Tat is to dispell all the pigs with Tit for Tat, as the durability debuff & attack damage buff portions of this ability are treated as separate status effects. Successfully dispelling a Pig under Tit for Tat will take away the damage buff & only leave them with the durability debuff.

Even though Prince Porky is immune to high damage, he isn't immune to debuffs that come with said damage. You can exploit this by using any gear that allows the bird to dispell the target, which can remove Tit for Tat's damage buff while leaving the durability debuff intact.

Warnings

Warning 1: Be careful, Prince Porky can dodge high damage.

Warning 2: Be extremely careful, Prince Porky can increase his damage by 25% using his Tit for Tat and since he can deal triple damage, he sometimes can kill a bird in a single hit.

Warning 3: This pig can deal triple damage.

Warning 4: Be extra careful, Prince Porky's Tit for Tat combined with the Royal Bombs he can summon can quickly take out multiple birds at the same time.

Angry Birds Seasons

In Angry Birds Seasons, Prince Porky appears on the episode card of the Fairy Hogmother episode, but does not appear in it proper.

Trivia

His Rage Chili ability "Holy Hand Grenade" is a reference to "Monty Python and the Holy Grail".

Notes

↑ ^1.0 ^1.1 Porky is strongly implied to be King Pig's son due to the official Angry Birds Epic website describing him as "a chip off the old block", which usually refers to someone who has taken after one of their parents.
